Passion fruit flowers were the inspiration for these sock that feature a stranded colorwork leg and foot with ribbing in between for socks that hug your feet and pass over the heel without trouble. The heel flap incorporates slipped stitches for strength and durability while maintaining the ribbed look to the base of the heel. The result? A great fitting sock with extra warm stranded toes!
